1 <br /> ' -9- <br /> 4. Specify which ponds, streams , roads and buildings, if any, will remain after <br /> reclamation. These features must be shown on the Exhibit E - Map. If ponds are <br /> part of the reclamation plan, slopes from 5 feet above to 10 feet below the <br /> ' expected waterline cannot be steeper than 3H: iV; remaining slope lengths may not be <br /> steeper than ZH: iV. Where wildlife habitat is the proposed future land use, <br /> shorelines should be irregularly shaped to promote a diverse wildlife habitat. <br /> (The DOW should be consulted where wildlife is the proposed future land use. ) <br /> ' 5. Specify the reclamation treatment of any waste rock dumps , tailing <br /> impoundments , underground mine openings, ditches , sediment control facilities , <br /> ' buildings and other features specified in your mine plan but not previously <br /> addressed in the reclamation plan narrative. These features must be shown on <br /> Exhibit E - Map. This should describe the measures taken to minimize disturbance <br /> ' to the hydrologic balance, prevent off-site damage, and provide for a stable <br /> configuration consistent with the proposed future land use. <br /> 6. You must provide an estimate of the actual costs to reclaim the site based on <br /> what it would cost the state using an independent contractor to complete <br /> reclamation. Please include the unit costs for the following activities as <br /> appropriate to the operation: backfilling, grading, topsoil application, seeding, <br /> ' mulching, fertilization, and labor to complete reclamation. You will need to <br /> determine the point during the operation when the site has reached a point of <br /> maximum disturbance. The cost to reclaim the site to the specifications of the <br /> ' reclamation plan at this point must be estimated. Unit costs (cost per cubic <br /> yard) , volumes, haul or push distances, and grades should be included when <br /> backfilling and grading is part of the reclamation plan. Volume and unit costs for <br /> finish grading, subsoil and topsoil application should be provided in terms of cost <br /> ' per cubic yard. The estimated cost for fertilizer, seed and mulch acquisition and <br /> application should be provided as cost per acre. <br /> ' Equipment costs must include such factors as operator wages and benefits , fuel and <br /> lubricant consumption and depreciation. The cost to mobilize and demobilize the <br /> equipment from the nearest population center should be estimated. <br /> ' All items referenced in the reclamation plan must be included in the cost <br /> calculation. These items in addition to earthwork, such as detoxification of <br /> cyanide heaps , building demolition, fencing, monitoring well sealing or stream <br /> channel reconstruction must also be included in the reclamation cost estimate. <br /> After the direct costs noted above have been estimated, 15.8% of that total should <br /> ' be added to the estimate. This additional cost is required to cover indirect costs <br /> that an independent contractor would incur when performing reclamation of the site. <br /> 1 <br /> 1 <br />
